Worst One in a While
Ever since returning from vacation and then the trip to France, I haven't played much, but when I have played the cards have been dead and good things just aren't happening.
But this SNG was different. I won a big hand with pocket rockets, and then I woke up with them again, and doesn't this just play out perfect. For a while:

Token
I've decided to play more SNGs where top prize is a token. Tonight, my $4.40 was in search of a $26 token. Let's see what transpired.
Hand #1. Let's watch AJo misplayed. I'm in the BB for this.
Hand #5. Here's AJo played cautiously
Hand #7: The oh-so-critical suckout
Hand #8: The laydown
Hand #13: The deck smacks me in the face
*I now have >1/2 the chips in play...13 minutes into this and through two blind levels. Time to milk the clock and pick my spots.
19 minutes in: Suckout #1
27 minutes in: Suckout #2
28 minutes in: Suckout #3
...and now I'm the average stack.
djm182: that's how it's gonna have to happen
32 minutes in...waaaayyyyy behind
...and now I'm the short stack (!!) WTF!!!...
40 minutes in: Sometimes it helps to get lucky
41 minutes in: It's down to heads up
53 minutes in: Any two cards
One hour in: If you keep this shit up, I'm gonna catch you
Hand #1. Let's watch AJo misplayed. I'm in the BB for this.
